My fridge is in a state of chaos... I just want to chug this down smoothly💦 Alright, after the Tenshu sake, next up is Kōei Kiku's Snow Crescent❤️ Rumor has it's delicious, so my expectations are sky-high😊 Caution: Opening this bottle is dangerous⚠️ It's alcohol. The moment I removed the cap protector, the cork popped out! 😳 Whoops, trouble! ‼️ I quickly checked the bottle... no contents spilled out... phew, that's a relief 😌 I'll pour the clear part. Pouring it into SYUWAN, a soft citrus aroma wafts up ❤️ Taking a sip, there's a definite effervescence. And it's sweet and sour—😍 Though sweet and sour, the acidity isn't overpowering—it's a refreshing taste like biting into a Valencia orange ✨. I wondered if this was really sake, but as it slid down my throat, I knew it was. Then, I turned the bottle upside down to mix in the sediment for the second glass. A slight bitterness emerged. But this was delicious in its own way 😊. I hear it's also delicious warmed, so it feels a bit wasteful, but I think I'll try that tomorrow or later ❤️.

Rururun-san, good evening. The refrigerator problem is a drinker's eternal theme, isn't it? 😅 Kouei Kiku-san's Snow Creme looks delicious as always, doesn't it? 🤤 The timing didn't work out this season either, so next season I really want to savor Valencia oranges. 😍

At the end of the year, I saw a different kind of Tasake-sama on the instagram of my usual liquor store like a rage. I felt obligated to buy it 💦. I asked my husband, who loves Tasake, to buy me a bottle ✨. I was curious to see how it differed from the usual Tokujun 😎 as it is in a price range I don't usually reach for. First, the aroma. Fresh aroma like pineapple and apple ✨. But it's not too cloying, it has a classy feel to it: ☺️ When you drink it, it has a refreshing sweetness, like when you put an apple in your mouth. And there is no bitterness! Some Tasake-sama can have a bitter taste, but.... It's a pleasant finish to the drink, and I find myself reaching for it one after the other😅. This is a definite deliciousness that makes you say "yes" or "no". I will definitely get another bottle when it comes out next year 😊.

Good evening, Mr. Rurun! Tasake's Yamada-Nishiki 40%-5% is delicious, isn't it 😋. I had it last year and it's a definite good sake that never lets you down 😍. It's bliss to find a sake that you want to drink again 🤗.

Happy belated New Year ☺️ Best wishes for the coming year: 🙇‍♀️ First sake of 2026 is AKABU's GALAXY Sparkling✨! The stopper is a crown type. When I lifted the stopper a little with the corkscrew, it spilled a lot💦. It's like it misses a little gas and then opens a little again and spills again 😅. After overcoming all that, pour it into a glass... It's a light cloudy sparkling wine✨ It smells like sweet melon and banana. When you drink it, it tastes like a sparkling wine, but the creamy taste and bitter aftertaste make it seem like it's not a wine. Delicious ❤️ We had it first in a champagne glass and then in a SYUWAN. I found it tasted better with SYUWAN because I didn't feel the bitterness in the aftertaste as much😊.

I didn't want to open a 4-gallon bottle, so I reached for a smaller bottle, which was a gift. But the 300mm bottle was not enough for the two of us. I reached for the second bottle 😅. Compared to the previous Kihei, it is much easier to drink. It's alesed, but maybe that's why? It's a refreshing drink that quickly fades away.

This is one of the three bottles of Shizuoka sake that I received. I will have it warmed up today 😊. I think the temperature was a little high for warming, the alcohol is a little too much for my nose lol! No aroma, rather an old type of sake I guess. Today's entrée is yakitori takeout: ❤️ It goes well with yakitori.

And the taste is sweet but also goes well with meals 😊. This is the Yamadanishiki version, but the Kame-no-o version was also on sale at the same time. I would like to try Kame-no-o next year.

This is the United Arrows version of the snowman... ❗️ I saw it on a liquor store instagram and went there 2 hours later and it was gone from the store 😭. I asked the clerk if it was no good and he brought it out from the back 😭😭😭. God...✨ We emptied AKABU SNOW early yesterday. So we decided to open the bottle 🎉. Compared to the original Snowman, the olydance is less vigorous...or to put it better, calmer. As for the taste, it has been a long time since I drank the original Snowman, so I may have forgotten some parts of it. The original seems fresher. In terms of specs. Original -> 100% Domaine Sakura Yamadanishiki UA→95% Yamadanishiki, 5% Kame-no-o   Assemblage of 4 varieties There is a difference between the two (as stated on the label). The UA is sweeter and mellower than the original, perhaps due to the assemblage. All I can say is that both are delicious ❗️

Happy Merry Christmas 🎉 When it comes to Christmas, this is the only drink that stands up to ❗️. I wasn't originally planning to buy it, but for various reasons, this one came to my house💦. First of all, open the bottle 🎉. I was very wary of opening the bottle because it had a "beware of opening ⚠️" tag, but I felt a strong gas pressure. When I completely uncorked the bottle, it didn't blow out. It was a letdown. I poured it into a glass and tasted it and wondered what it was, a lychee-like flavor. It's a low 13% alu, so it went horribly swishy and I finished it: ❗️ Like a light Pocari, like an Aquari. When I think of Christmas, I took the liberty of imagining a fizzy form, but it's delicious, so there's that.

The second drink was at Isozumo. Since the menu said "Cold Sake". I wondered if it was different from the one I had before, but it was exactly the same one😅. It was a delicious sake with clean water. ❤️ By the way, the third sake was the Kutouryuu, a light nigori with a hanging mouth, which I also ordered last week. It was still the same delicious sake with apple flavor!

For the second week in a row, I went to the usual restaurant. It was the last practice for the children's sports too. It's the launch 😁. Since it's the second week in a row, I thought that the type of alcohol would be the same, but there was a new one... It's a bottle of Toyotsukai Shiboritate, the bottle that made Toyotsukai a household name throughout the country. I was lucky enough to win a mouthful: ❤️ It has a fruity aroma and is easy to drink and delicious: ❗️ New sake season makes me so happy with all the delicious sake ✨.

It's my first Kozaemon 🎉 first Gifu sake 🍶 ❤️ I went there for another sake, but they didn't have the one I was looking for. I was looking for an alternative sake and found this one. I found this one. The label was so cute I just had to have it 😊. Concept Worker's Selection....this may be tactless for a sake that you drink with your senses and not your head, but here's a report on what I drank 😁. First of all, opening the bottle 🎉. Recently, even though it says "open with caution ⚠️ sake"... I've never had a spillage before. but this was the first time in a long time 💦. I had chilled it for a while 😅. I regained my composure and took a sip. It has a banana-milky aroma. It has a sweet and sour aftertaste like a lactobacillus drink with a slight bitterness. However, the bitterness is not unpleasant and disappears quickly, so you can drink it as much as you want 😎. This is delicious ❗️

At my usual restaurant. When I go to a restaurant, I am often guided to a seat in front of the refrigerator. When I looked, to my surprise, there was Jikin-sama 😳. However, it is not listed on the local sake menu. I gave up on the idea that it might be a special offer for regular customers and decided to order something from the other menu, but I was surprised to find Jikin-sama under the food menu. I was surprised to see Jikin-sama listed under the food menu. First, a sip. The aroma was refreshing like green apple. When I drank it, I found the juiciness of green apple and I felt the bitterness of alcohol that didn't end there. I had the impression that the Jikkensama I have had so far is soft and easy to drink, yet still has a strong flavor. I was surprised to find a flavor with such a certain impact. However, when I drank it after having tachipon and kampachi sashimi, I felt the bitterness quickly recede along with the fat of the sashimi, and I felt the depth of nostalgia for its high potential as a food sake. I could also feel a new aspect of Jikin-sama. ❤️

This is the first Gagakuyo ❤️ Recently, I watched a Youtube video of Mr. Kato, the head brewer of Tenryo Cup Brewery, who brews Garakudai, and thought I'd like to try it. As a nigori hunter, I couldn't pass it up 😎. Cork 🎉. It has a sense of "Shupon". The aroma is slightly fruity, though not that much. It is slightly carbonated in the mouth. The taste is fruity but has a bitterness. It has a fruity taste, but it also has a bitterness, as if it were a light, dry sake. However, because of the low alcohol content of 14.5%, it is not unpleasant to drink, and I thought it would be a good match as a mealtime drink. Strangely enough, by the second glass, I didn't notice the bitterness as much, and the glass kept going and going💦. I heard there will be an active nigori in December. I have yet to see it. I hope to take you there again when I can.

In fact, I recently drank some Nigori sake from a major brewery and found it to be a bit of a disappointment for me 😅. It was a disappointment for me 😅. I'm in the mood to open a little span. Well, this time, I found and got a bottle while patrolling the liquor store. It's a different vibe from the last Reborn Raindrops ✨. Different atmosphere ✨. The aroma is just a hint of muscat. The taste is sweet and delicious. The alcohol content is 16%. It's a dangerous ⚠️ that's easy to drink 😅. The aftertaste is bitter or is this what you call sharp?

I saw on Instagram that Goryo's new sake was in the market. I went to buy it with my husband who loves Goryo. Well, let's open the bottle🎉. There is not much aroma. It tastes like a slight sweetness of rice. I have had Goryo's Junmai Ginjo, Red Label Tokujun, and one made with Hakodate Kosen yeast, but compared to these three, this Goryo is a bit lacking. To be honest, I feel it is a bit lacking. I was expecting a fresher taste, so I was a little disappointed. If I warmed it up, maybe my impression would change.
